Identity Sources

Administration > Tenants > (Selected Tenant) > Identity Sources Administration > Users > Identity Sources

Overview

Morpheus can integrate with many of the most common identity source technologies, such as Active Directory, Okta, and many others. These can be configured via the Identity Sources button on any Tenant detail page (Administration > Tenants > Selected Tenant) or on the Users list page (Administration > Users). These integrations map roles within these sign-on tools to equivalent roles in Morpheus so at first log in users are assigned the appropriate role.

Active Directory


Overview

Active Directory is Microsoft’s primary authentication service. It is widely used in enterprise organizations and even in Microsoft cloud services. While Active Directory also supports LDAP protocol support (which Morpheus can integrate with as well), Morpheus includes a dedicated identity integration type specifically for Active Directory. By integrating Active Directory, Morpheus administrators can fully offload the work of managing the user lifecycle to Active Directory. Creating new users, applying roles to users, updating basic user data, disabling users, and more can be handled in Active Directory and automatically filtered down to Morpheus. This section includes an example integration walkthrough as well as additional details on the integration feature set.

Note

Caution should be used when integrating more than one Active Directory identity source with the same Morpheus Tenant. You must ensure the users on each identity source are unique users or that the two domains use different naming conventions for users.

How It Works

In Morpheus, identity sources (if used) are configured per Tenant. In order to see an identity integration or create a new one, navigate to a Tenant detail page (Administration > Tenants > Selected Tenant) and click IDENTITY SOURCES. From this page we can add a new identity source or click the pencil (✎) icon next to an existing identity source to view or edit it. Any configured identity source will apply to just one Tenant and they cannot be shared. One scenario where this is especially useful is in an MSP appliance where each Tenant is a siloed environment for a specific customer. The customer’s own existing Active Directory server and groups can be leveraged to build Morpheus user accounts with correct role mapping automatically.

When configuring an Active Directory integration in Morpheus, AD groups are mapped to Morpheus roles. When the user logs in for the first time, Morpheus adds the new user account with correct name, email address, and applies one or more roles depending on configuration. Going forward, Morpheus will sync down any changes to the user, including any role changes based on changes to the user’s associated AD groups or updated passwords. Additionally, disabling a user in AD will prevent them from accessing Morpheus.

Important

Morpheus will connect over port 389 for non-secure LDAP and port 636 for secure LDAP. Ensure that Morpheus is able to talk to the AD server on the proper port.

Example Integration

In a simple example, we have an Active Directory server which has two groups relevant to Morpheus, “Morpheus Users” and “Morpheus Admins.” We will configure Morpheus so that only users in the “Morpheus Users” group can access Morpheus in any capacity. Users who are also in the “Morpheus Admins” group will take on the System Admin role in Morpheus. We’ll see later when the integration is configured how Morpheus roles can be mapped to AD groups. In the same AD server, I have two users. John Smith is in groups “Morpheus Users” and “Morpheus Admins”. John Jones is only in the “Morpheus Users” group.

../../_images/ad.png

Knowing the AD scheme and the requirements for Morpheus user roles, we can begin the process of creating the integration. Identity integrations are specific to each Tenant so begin by navigating to the Tenant detail page (Administration > Tenants > Selected Tenant) and clicking IDENTITY SOURCES. On setting the type to “Active Directory,” the form will update with the needed fields. Note the following basic fields:

  • AD SERVER: The IP address or hostname for the Active Directory Server

  • DOMAIN: The AD domain in which the relevant users and groups reside

  • BINDING USERNAME: A server user which has access to relevant objects on the AD server. In my example, I’ve used the in-built Administrator user which is the easiest option. Other users may be used depending on your organization’s IT security policies but the integration with Morpheus will not work properly if the user does not have the needed access

  • BINDING PASSWORD: The password for the user in the prior field

With the basic configurations completed, the remaining configurations will affect Morpheus user and role generation. A REQUIRED GROUP is optional and is a group the user must be in to have any Morpheus access. Here we require that users be in the “Morpheus Users” group. A DEFAULT ROLE is required and will be assigned to all users regardless of any additional roles they may be assigned based on their AD group membership. Beyond that, all other Morpheus roles will be listed here and an AD group name can be associated with as many as you required. In this example, we are giving users in the “Morpheus Admins” group the Morpheus System Admin role. Though we did not use them, it’s worth pointing out that ENABLE ROLE MAPPING PERMISSION will give administrators in the Tenant the ability to update the AD role mappings (though they will not have access to the core integration fields such as AD SERVER, DOMAIN, or binding user details). MANUAL ROLE ASSIGNMENT allows users to manually update Morpheus roles outside of the automatic mappings created by the AD integration.

../../_images/intConfig.png

With the above integration steps completed, users can now log into Morpheus and a user account with correct roles will automatically be created. In our example case, John Smith has logged in and we can see he is assigned the default role as well as the System Admin role based on his AD group associations. Going forward, Morpheus will continue to sync any changes to these users. For example, Morpheus roles may be updated based on changing AD groups or user access may be completely revoked by disabling the user in AD.

Adding an Active Directory Integration

  1. Navigate to Administration > Tenants

  2. Select a Tenant

  3. Select IDENTITY SOURCES

  4. Select + ADD IDENTITY SOURCE

  5. Set the TYPE to “Active Directory”

  6. Populate the following:

    Name

    A friendly name in Morpheus for the AD integration

    AD Server

    The Hostname or IP address of AD Server

    Domain

    The AD domain in which the relevant user and group objects reside

    USE SSL

    Indicates whether SSL should be used for communication with the AD server. Morpheus will connect over port 389 for non-secure LDAP and port 636 for secure LDAP, ensure Morpheus can connect to the AD server over the correct port

    Binding Username

    A username for a service account which has access to relevant objects (users, groups, etc.). For ease, the “Administrator” user may be used

    Binding Password

    The password for the above account

    Required Group

    The AD group users must be in to have access (optional, see example in the prior section)

    Default Role

    The default role a user is assigned when they are in the required group or if no specific group mapping applies to the user (see example in prior section)

    ENABLE ROLE MAPPING PERMISSION

    When selected, Tenant users with appropriate rights to view and edit Roles will have the ability to set role mapping for the Identity Source integration. This allows the Tenant user to edit only the role mappings without viewing or potentially editing the basic Identity Source configuration (AD server, domain, binding user details, etc)

    MANUAL ROLE ASSIGNMENT

    When selected, administrators can manually edit Roles for users created through this identity source integration from the user detail page (Administration > Users > Selected user)

Note

For more on Identity Source role mapping permissions, see the associated guide in our KnowledgeBase.

  1. Select SAVE CHANGES.

Now allowed AD users can login to Morpheus via their Active Directory credentials and a User will be automatically generated to Morpheus with matching metadata and mapped Role permissions.

Note

Sub-tenant Morpheus API authentication for Active Directory generated users is not currently supported.

Troubleshooting

If you’re unable to get the Active Directory integration to work, the following troubleshooting steps may be useful to ensure your appliance can talk to the Active Directory server.

  1. Open firewall ports

Source: Morpheus appliance

Destination: AD server’s FQDN or IP address

Non-SSL AD integration: TCP-389

SSL AD integration: TCP-636

  1. Checking open LDAP connections from the Morpheus appliance

Connect to a Morpheus appliance box and run the following:

$ sudo lsof i- | grep :ldap

  1. Check LDAP connectivity from the Morpheus appliance

Connect to a Morpheus appliance box and run the following. Be sure to replace the placeholder values in the command with the correct values for your environment:

$ ldapsearch   -x -h xx.xx.xx.xx -D "[email protected]" -W -b "cn=users,dc=acme,dc=com"

  1. Run tcpflow from the Morpheus appliance for non-SSL enabled AD identity Integrations

Use tcpflow from the Morpheus appliance and then start the identity source configuration once again. Keep in mind this will only work for AD servers which are not SSL enabled:

$ sudo tcpflow -i any -c -v port 389

  1. Check the AD and domain controllers event logs

Check the event logs for LDAP queries from the Morpheus appliance to ensure network connectivity.

Azure Active Directory SSO (SAML)

Azure Active Directory Single Sign-on can be added as a Identity Source in Morpheus using the SAML Identity Source Type. The Azure AD SSO configuration is slightly different than other SAML providers, and this guide will assist in adding a Azure AD SSO Identity Source.

Create Azure Enterprise Application

  1. Login to the Azure Portal

  2. Navigate to: Azure Active Directory > Enterprise Applications

  3. Click the + New application button at the top

  4. Click the + Create your own application button at the top

  5. Ensure Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery) is selected and enter a name for the app. Common examples are: MorpheusSSO

  6. Click the Create button at the bottom and wait for it to complete

  7. Once created, you’ll be in the Overview of the application created. Navigate to the Single sign-on section from the left pane

  8. Choose SAML as the Single sign-on method

  9. Copy both the Login URL and Logout URL in Step 4, we’ll need these in some of the next steps

  10. Before we can continue configuring the application, the configuration needs to be generated in Morpheus for more data

Create an Azure AD SAML Integration in Morpheus

Azure requires inputting the Identifier (Entity ID) and Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) in the Azure SSO configuration before it provides the Endpoints and Certificate necessary to add the Integration into Morpheus. In order to get the Identifier (Entity ID) and Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) to input into Azure SSO configuration, we need to create a Azure AD SAML SSO integration in Morpheus first.

To add the integration:

  1. Login to Morpheus

  2. Navigate to Administration > Tenants

  3. Click a tenant hyperlink

  4. Click the IDENTITY SOURCES button in the Tenant detail page

  5. Click the + ADD IDENTITY SOURCE button

  6. Select Azure AD SAML SSO from the TYPE dropdown

  7. Add

    • Name

    • (Optional) Description

    • Paste the Login URL copied from Azure into the LOGIN REDIRECT URL field

    • Paste the Logout URL copied from Azure into the SAML LOGOUT REDIRECT URL field

  8. This is the minimum information needed for now, which will let us generate the details needed from Morpheus. We’ll return to this configuration page later to enter more information.

  9. Click the SAVE CHANGES button

Important

Setting SAML REQUEST to “No Signature” and SAML RESPONSE to “Do Not Validate Assertion Signature” is allowed but not recommended for security reasons.

Upon saving, the Entity ID (Identifier (Entity ID)) and SP ACS URL (Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)) will be provide in the Identity Source list view. Copy these for use in Azure SSO configuration.

../../_images/saml_setup.png

Configure Azure Enterprise Application

This guide assumes an Azure AD Enterprise Application has already been created. Please refer to documentation above, if this has not already been configured.

  1. Navigate to: Azure Active Directory > Enterprise Applications > Single sign-on

  2. Choose SAML as the Single sign-on method

  3. On Step 1 (Basic SAML Configuration), click the Edit button and enter the following:

    • Identifier (Entity ID)

      Enter the Entity ID URL from the Morpheus Identity Source Integration above

    • Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)

      Enter the SP ACS URL from the Morpheus Identity Source Integration above

    • Logout URL

      Enter the following format: https://yourUrl/login/ If this is a sub tenant, the format may instead be the following: https://yourUrl/login/account/1 The login URL can be found under IDENTITY SOURCES in the tenant

  4. On Step 2 (Attributes and Claims), click the Edit button

  5. Click the Add a group claim button at the top

  6. Choose All groups and ensure Group ID is selected for the Source attribute dropdown

    Note

    You can also choose Security groups, which ever makes more sense for the organization

  7. Close the pane and return to the Enterprise Application in the Single sign-on section

  8. On Step 3 (SAML Certificates), click the Download link next to Certificate (Base64) and Federation Metadata XML

    Note

    The files will download, keep them available for later configuation in Morpheus

  9. Navigate to Users and Groups in the left pane

  10. Click the Add user/group button

  11. Add Azure groups to this application that will be able to login to Morpheus

    Note

    Note the object ID for each of these groups, as they will be used later when configuring Morpheus to map the group to roles

  12. Once groups have been added, click the Assign button at the bottom

Configure the Azure AD SAML Integration in Morpheus

  1. Login to Morpheus using Username and Password, as usual

  2. Navigate to Administration > Tenants

  3. Click a tenant hyperlink

  4. Select IDENTITY SOURCES in the Tenant detail page

  5. Click the pencil (edit) next to the integration created previously

  6. Ensure the SAML REQUEST field is set to Self Signed

    Note

    A custom RSA signature can be used here if needed, if required by the orgnaization

  7. Ensure the SAML RESPONSE field is set to Validate Assertion Signature

    Note

    With this setting, if the assertion signature ever changes in the Azure Enterprise Application, this would need to be updated to match

  8. Edit/view the downloaded Federation Metadata XML (.xml extension) file from the previous section

    Note

    It is recommended to use Microsoft Edge, or another browser, to view the contents

  9. In the Federation Metadata XML file, locate the <X509Certificate> </X509Certificate> under the <Signature> section. Copy the entire contents between the <X509Certificate> and </X509Certificate>, it is very long

  10. Paste the value copied from the Federation Metadata XML file into the Public Key (Optional) box, below the SAML RESPONSE dropdown

Configure Role Mappings

Role mappings will map Azure AD Groups to Morpheus Roles. Azure AD users will be assigned Roles in Morpheus upon signing in based on their Group Membership in Azure AD.

Important

Use an Azure Groups Object ID, not Group name, when entering Role Mappings. Example: 7626a4a2-b388-4d9b-a228-72ce9a33bd4b

DEFAULT ROLE

Role a Azure AD user will be assigned by default upon signing in to Morpheus using this Identity Source.

REQUIRED AZURE AD GROUP OBJECT ID

Object ID of Azure AD Group a user must be a member of to be authorized to sign in to Morpheus. Users not belonging to this Group will not be authorized to login to Morpheus. This field is optional, and if left blank, any user from the Azure AD App will be able to sign in to Morpheus and will be assigned the Default Role if no Role Mappings match AD Group membership.

GROUP ASSERTION ATTRIBUTE NAME

Enter http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/groups for Azure AD SSO

Additional Role Mappings

The existing Roles in Morpheus will be listed. To map a Morpheus Role to an Azure AD Group, enter the Object ID of the desired Azure AD Group in the Role Attribute Value field for the corresponding Morpheus Role.

Important

Use an Azure Groups Object ID, not Group name, when entering Role Mappings. Example: 7626a4a2-b388-4d9b-a228-72ce9a33bd4b

ENABLE ROLE MAPPING PERMISSION

When selected, Tenant users with appropriate rights to view and edit Roles will have the ability to set role mapping for the Identity Source integration. This allows the Tenant user to edit only the role mappings without viewing or potentially editing the Identity Source configuration.

MANUAL ROLE ASSIGNMENT

When selected, administrators can manually edit Roles for users created through this identity source integration from the user detail page (Administration > Users > Selected user).

Note

For more on Identity Source role mapping permissions, see the associated guide in our KnowledgeBase.

Once populated, select SAVE CHANGES and the SAML identity source integration will be added. The Identity Source can be edited anytime to deactivate or change Role Mappings or other values.

Note

If Role mappings are edited after Azure AD SSO users have signed into Morpheus, currently logged in users will need to log out of Morpheus for the new Role mappings to take effect, when applicable.

  1. Under the Role Azure Group Mappings secton, verify the DEFAULT ROLE dropdown has the role in Morpheus selected that all users will be assigned by default

    • It is recommended that this role contains no permissions, which ensures that anyone who authenticates gets no access

  2. Under the Role Azure Group Mappings secton, you will see role names listed. Next to these are text boxes with Assertion Attribute Mappings inside. Enter group object IDs from Azure into these text boxes. This will map the Azure AD groups to specific roles in Morpheus

  3. Finally, click Save Changes at the bottom of the page

Here is an example of the configuration above:

../../_images/saml_setup_complete.png

Azure Group Lookups

When a user in azure ad has more that 150 group attributes, Azure does not include the group claims in the SAML response, and Morpheus is required to query Microsoft Graph to obtain the users group attribute values. When there are users that are members of more that 150 groups, populate the Azure Group Lookups section in order for those users to be able to use the Azure AD SAML SSO integration, otherwise no groups will be obtained and proper role mappings cannot occur.

AZURE TENANT ID

Add Azure AD Tenant ID if user group membership will exceed 150. See Copy Directory (tenant) and Application (client) IDs for information on obtaining an Azure AD Tenant ID

AZURE APP ID

Add Azure AD Application (Client) ID if user group membership will exceed 150. See Copy Directory (tenant) and Application (client) IDs for information on obtaining an Azure AD Application (Client) ID

AZURE APP SECRET

Add Azure Application (Client) Secret if user group membership will exceed 150. See Generate a Client Secret for information on creating an Azure Application (Client) Secret

ROLE LINK ATTRIBUTE NAME

default: http://schemas.microsoft.com/claims/groups.link. This is not normally changed.

Logging Into Morpheus with Azure AD SAML

  1. Navigate to the Morpheus URL

  2. A new button will appear to allow sign-in using Azure AD SAML, with the same name as the integration. Click the button

../../_images/sign_in_page.png

  1. Sign-in with your Microsoft/Azure account

../../_images/ms_signin.png

Note

If no local users other than the System Admin have been created, “USERNAME AND PASSWORD” option will not be displayed, only the SAML option.

Okta

Overview

Morpheus allows users to integrate an Okta deployment for user management and authentication. In Morpheus, identity sources are added on a per-Tenant basis and Morpheus allows you to map Okta user groups to Morpheus user groups. User accounts are automatically created with matching metadata and role permissions when users are authenticated.

Adding an Okta Integration

  1. Navigate to Administration > Tenants

  2. Select a Tenant

  3. Select IDENTITY SOURCES

  4. Select + IDENTITY SOURCE

  5. Choose TYPE: “Okta”

  6. Populate the following, then select SAVE CHANGES:

Description

A description for your new Okta Identity Source

Okta URL

Your Okta URL

Administrator API Token

Your Okta Administrator API Token

Required Group

The Okta group that users must be in to have access (optional)

Default Role

The default role a user is assigned if no group is listed under an Okta user that maps within the Morpheus Role Mappings section

ENABLE ROLE MAPPING PERMISSION

When selected, Tenant users with appropriate rights to view and edit Roles will have the ability to set role mapping for the Identity Source integration. This allows the Tenant user to edit only the role mappings without viewing or potentially editing the Identity Source configuration.

MANUAL ROLE ASSIGNMENT

When selected, administrators can manually edit Roles for users created through this identity source integration from the user detail page (Administration > Users > Selected user).

Note

For more on Identity Source role mapping permissions, see the associated guide in our KnowledgeBase.

Now, allowed Okta users can log into Morpheus via their Okta credentials and a user will be automatically generated within Morpheus with matching metadata and mapped Role permissions.

Note

If you’ve created multi-tenant roles, these will also appear here and can be mapped to Okta user groups allowing you to map users to equivalent user groups in Morpheus.
